By Necessity Verses Slightly
Paraphrased
9 - And the angel said to me (disciple John, seeing the vision in his old age while in an island prison) “Write this - Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!!” {Mt.25:1-13! In the parable of the ten bridesmaids, the door is to serving, called reigning (for logical reason) during the Lord’s long second advent. The door is to the wedding banquet/reception/supper. And the catching away of dead and alive believers - aka the resurrection, called the first (partial collective, eschatological) resurrection, is the wedding, the union.
“The door” closes to “the” millennium - noT to Life, closed forever. The door is to the wedding supper/banquet/reception and what comes after, up to the second, rest of humanity, eschatological vivification (Rev.21:5, the word “things” was/is inserted). This vivification is not simultaneous with its partner resurrection, but between the second resurrection and the second vivification is the GWT judgment ‘day’. And to “rise into the judgment” (‘day’) Jn.5:29, is to rise “still in ones sins” (not yet perfected). The judgment is the GWT judgment ‘day’, elsewhere called an aion-ion kolasis (correction, with logical, INITIAL inner torment for some (few? comparatively speaking that is) aka, the condition of misery, being in the inner, outside of the light, darkness ..with gnashing of teeth.. think, for example, of a heartless and cruel despot, rising into the judgment radiance. But Jesus said he “will draw all” - Jn.12:32, so this tormented from within condition will progress to weeping, beating self up.. with many stripes.. And finally to heart and gut wrenching remorse - as he reviews the faces of those he so hurt and harmed, even killed. Think of a modern day child trafficker, where the child goes no one knows.
But finally, after a while (purgatory flames are psychological) coming to realize ..God, loving Presence/Spirit (Holy Ghost all loving) and mercy.. “Christ Crucified”.. the remedy God instituted, it being strong enough to appease every conscience, even the worst. The initial condition of some is also portrayed in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.}
And the angel said to me, “These are the true words of God!” 10 And I fell at his feet {overwhelmed?} to worship him, but he said, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. {Meaning it’s all worked out? All laid out.. We just need to be told/shown about it ..and follow, aka, conform. ..To our own, individual, highest blueprint. But it is not, as they say ‘all about me’. Not by a longshot, Lol!}
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and look! There was a white horse! {The gospel, the Truth, which rode forth “openly victorious over powers and principalities”. Led to the Magna Charter, the Constitution.. individual rights and freedom. Nuclear family culture, some stability for a while..}
And the one sitting upon the white horse is called “Faithful and True”. In righteousness he judges and makes war {rescues, vindicates, works justice}. 12 His eyes are like flames of fire (penetrate) and upon his head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe that was dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word/Message of God. {Master blueprint and plan. Embodiment of Truth.} 14 And the armies oF heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sWord (Truth!) with which to strike down the nations, and he will shepherd them (the nations/this is obviously future) with a rod (measuring rod) of iron (i.e. is un-breakable - truth cannot be broken, or done away with). He treads the winepress of the fury [thumos - from thuo - to rush {7 thunders? Well, six..} or to breathe hard] of the wrath [orgΓ© - passion, wrath, indignation, a settled and abiding condition of mind with a view to justice {scales! Cause and effect!} Settled indignation going forth ‘wrath’/consequences] {at cruel and heartless evils, the passion} of God the Almighty. [Isaiah 13:9 - Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with fury and fierce anger - to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from off it.] {But as cause and effect. Apocalypse is all man done. Even the final “bowls” called “of God’s wrath” ..The “seven thunders”? Though one is past. Rev.10:4 (over and out, six are future. Didn’t 13:13 pinpoint an oFFice? NoT an individual.. as of yet). Seal six but veiled by its description.} 16 On his robe and upon his thigh he has a name written, “King of kings and Lord of lords!” [Upon his robe - “Inscriptions on the outer garments were sometimes used by distinguished personages. The title anticipates the final victory.. And upon his thigh, upon the humanity he lived” - from biblehub dot com.] {The title and crowns, engraved as in stone, forever, enduring, unchangeable. All of heaven and earth fully convinced. God is Life and he “is Perfect”. Only perfect can work. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? “Let us” Father and Son “make mankind in our likeness” ..They’re not done yet. “The lion will eat straw like the ox. The bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.
